I create Fediverse software that empowers people online. I'm vegan btw. Note: If you have a question for me, please tag me publicly. This gives the opportunity for others to chime in, and bystanders to learn.

Leonard Da Vinci was maybe a vegetarian. You can't get his powers by eating meat.

Yall are about to get Blueskied

Hey. It's Christmas time.

That's great. I'm using NIP-46 for everything in my project, but I know it won't scale in its current state.

He asks other people to use proprietary software for him in circumstances where he can't avoid it. For someone who draws such hard lines it's a little surprising, but I don't actually think it's a big deal just joking.

I believe in reincarnation, karma, and law of cause and effect. Not because I'm Buddhist but because I believe those things are true. I'm vegan BTW.

Everyone else laughed. You're the one that took it personally, Meat Mom.

The next Nostr conference should be held in Rome, where the fight began. I want to visit the place that Mark Zuckerberg thinks about in his dreams.

Boeing 747 can weigh almost a million pounds.

Ultimately, it's your choice. But as a protocol we should be pushing for a change in user expectations rather than trying to reinvent Twitter. I first learned this when I joined Gab, and everyone said "Learn to use the BLOCK and MUTE buttons". If what we really want is freedom, then users should understand that this is a different way to engage.

This of course requires thick skin, and in order to grow we will need to adapt for the meeker among us. But that shouldn't be in the form of targeted blocklists based on specific users, specific keywords, specific domains, nor by some AI tool. It should be client-side settings like "hide posts from people I don't follow". Things that change the underlying rules of the client rather than the rules of what people can post.

The knee-jerk reaction is to look at "hate speech" with fear and disgust. But the right way is to see an opportunity to have public conversations you can't have anywhere else online. We have to remember other users are real people, and what they say reflects a real sentiment in the world. You can either try to sweep it under the rug or embrace it.

Japan was so nice. No litter, no cars piled along the sidewalks, few homeless people, very organized, low crime. As soon as we landed back in Houston I saw a fake fingernail on the ground. And then the loudspeaker kept saying "Remember! You can't bring guns to the airport." over and over again while we waited two hours for our lost bags.

I wonder, what is the real average cost of running fediverse instance nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 ? Are there any 'purist' instance which running freely (covered by donation or owner's own fund) pure by instance owner?

What do you think about free relays in Nostr in long term?

Between $10/mo and $100/mo

So hard not to say "arigatou gozaimasu!" to Americans.
